Papercraft

Spent Monday night conducting a little Family Home Evening. This week's project? A little papercraft from Monkey Design. Fun project but a little too much for my young kids. I sat around the table and tried to keep them involved. The cutting, bending and gluing was just beyond their dexterity. I wanted to use Superglue because it dries to quickly but I feared the kids would stick their fingers together. So we used Elmers and a little tape to keep them together while they dried. I'll have to break some more of these out in a couple years when they're old enough to assemble them by themselves. Check out the designer's website for another 100 or so projects.

Craft & Commerce

Its dusk at Craft & Commerce. Heat and humidity turning to cool blue darkness. Stuffed dates wrapped in bacon. Citrus, avocado and a boiled duck's egg. Fried chicken with slaw. Menomena plays in the background. I can hear five slow bass notes, haunting vocals, and an engaging drum beat over the din of the crowd. Good company discussing family, work, design and art.
